Data Resources

The global dataset Data Resources of landslides was created by the Global Landslide Catalog (GLC), a project supported by the European Commission. The GLC was launched to assist disaster managers, researchers, and everyone interested in landslide hazard assessment and risk management. The GLC makes available the most extensive, most complete, and most up-to-date landslide catalog globally.

What is a data source?

A data source is a location from which data is used. A data source can be the initial location where data is born or where physical information is first digitized. Still, even the most refined data can act as a source unless accessed and used by another process.

Why is data an asset?

Data is used and created in all daily operations, from customer service to product creation to inventory tracking. … Not surprisingly, most companies readily accept that data should be treated as a business asset, just as they manage human and financial resources.
